There are fun things in this film – and not so fun things
The Positive: I thought Greta Gerwig in the role of Maggie was wonderful – a natural. The other characters are not bad too – although Ethan Hawke did grate on me at times.
There are twists and turns in the story-line so one does not quite know where we are being led, making the film unpredictable (as opposed to boring predictable).
And that was quite a story- jump from Maggie meeting our professor and then abruptly being a mother of a three year old.
The Negative: Yet another movie about an aspiring novelist-professor of esoteric study areas; in this case anthropological mumble-jumble.
And related to the above the film gets too wordy, too talkie...
But Overall – quirky and enjoyable
